Alldred v. United States

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SHERMAN DIVISION DEREK MYLAN ALLDRED, #27177-078 § § VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:20cv620 § CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 4:17cr105 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA § MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Pro se Movant Derek Mylan Alldred filed a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (#26). An appellant may proceed in forma pauperis on appeal only if he is economically eligible and presents a nonfrivolous issue. See Carson v. Polley, 689 F.2d 562, 586 (5th Cir. 1982). A review of the case shows that, on September 29, 2023, the Court denied Movant’s Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence because the issues he raised were without merit. At that time, the Court denied a certificate of appealability (#22). Because Movant has neither presented a nonfrivolous issue nor shown that he is entitled to a certificate of appealability, he also has not shown that he is entitled to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. United States v. Delario, 120 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir. 1997).

It is therefore ORDERED Movant’s motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (#26) is DENIED.
